Eldamo : Early Quenya : linya-

ᴱQ. linya- v. “to run or flow smoothly” (Category: to Flow)

⚠️ᴱQ. linya-, v. “to run or flow smoothly” (Category: to Flow): Q. sirya- “to flow [smoothly]”

A verb in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “run or flow smoothly” under the early root ᴱ√LINI (QL/54). This root had other derivatives like ᴱQ. linda “gentle”, so the emphasis was likely on the smoothness of the running or flowing.
